The electrician came by over the weekend, ostensibly to just give us a quote, but he ended up walking through the whole house and also stepping outside to look at our connections. I felt like I’d been given a mini-home inspection and it was wonderful! I’m sure he sees a lot of these circa-1950 bungalows that need a lot of upgrades or retro-fitting, but thankfully ours passed muster except for some of the outlets and fixtures that were already on our to-do list.
difficult, challenging, unexpectedly heading in a direction I didn’t want to go but hey what’s new there 
My homework list is:
has he met me, I talk, talk talk talk
